Default BVI customs fees

Has anyone taken their boat to the BVI in the last six months or so?
While checking on customs fees for our upcoming cruise to the eastern
caribbean I checked the BVI Tourist Board web site I found the following:
Cruising Permit $4 per person per day
Ban on importation of meat products unless you apply for a Department of
Agriculture permit. Cost $25
Import duties on food products of between 5% and 15%. You must have
reciepts for the food purchase.
"Don't even bother to bring alcoholic beverages"
If this is the case, I guess we'll cross the BVI off of our list of
destinations.
